Product Description
Xylitol, which appears as a white crystalline powder, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H12O5. It is native to Finland and is a natural sweetener extracted from plant raw materials such as birch, oak, corn cob, and sugarcane bagasse. . It is an intermediate in the normal carbohydrate metabolism of the human body. Xylitol can replace sugar and be used in candies, pastries, and beverages according to normal production needs.
Product Parameters
At present, xylitol is mainly used in the following industries:
Food industry
Xylitol has a cooling sensation in the mouth and is not fermented by bacteria in the mouth to produce lactic acid, so it does not cause tooth decay and can be used to make chewing gum. Xylitol will not cause the "Maillard" browning reaction due to heating during food processing. Xylitol is not affected by yeast and bacteria and does not become moldy, which can extend the shelf life of food.
1) Chewing gum
Xylitol has the same sweetness as sucrose and can prevent
dental caries. The sugar-free chewing gum that is now popular in the world is produced using sugar alcohols such as xylitol instead of sucrose.
2)Chocolate products
Xylitol can replace sucrose in chocolate products. The raw material xylitol must be
finely ground powder. This kind of chocolate using xylitol instead of sucrose is suitable for diabetics.
3) Beverage products
Xylitol mainly improves the sweetness of the beverage and gives it a cooling feeling. Maltose gives the beverage a texture. The
use of xylitol in beverage products controls the caloric value and stabilizes the efficacy of vitamins.
4) Eat gummies
Cyclamate and xylitol are used as sweeteners to replace sucrose to produce dietary fiber gummies, which have good flavor and natural color, complete block shape, full body, delicate texture, and sweet and sour taste. 2. Chemical industry toothpaste Currently, xylitol is widely used in chewing gum, and the technology is relatively mature. Chewing gum can effectively prevent dental caries.
